Abstract

Abstract:

Hierarchical TiO₂ hollow nanoboxes (TiO₂-HNBs) assembled from TiO₂ nanosheets (TiO₂-NSs) show improved photoreactivity when compared with the building blocks of discrete TiO₂-NSs. However, TiO₂-HNBs can only be excited by ultraviolet light. In this paper, visible-light-responsive N and S co-doped TiO₂-HNBs were prepared by calcining the mixture of cubic TiOF₂ and methionine (C₅H₁₁NO₂S), a N-and S-containing biomacromolecule. The effect of calcination temperature on the structure and performance of the TiO₂-HNBs was systematically studied. It was found that methionine can prevent TiOF₂-to-anatase TiO₂ phase transformation. Both N and S elements are doped into the lattice of TiO₂-HNBs when the mixture of TiOF₂ and methionine undergoes calcination at 400℃, which is responsible for the visible-light response. When compared with that of pure 400℃-calcined TiO₂-HNBs (T400), the photoreactivity of 400℃-calcined methionine-modified TiO₂-HNBs (TM400) improves 1.53 times in photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine-B dye under visible irradiation (λ > 420 nm). The enhanced visible photoreactivity of methionine-modified TiO₂-HNBs is also confirmed by photocatalytic oxidation of NO. The successful doping of N and S elements into the lattice of TiO₂-HNBs, resulting in the improved light-harvesting ability and efficient separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs, is responsible for the enhanced visible photocatalytic activity of methionine-modified TiO₂-HNBs. The photoreactivity of methionine modified TiO₂-HNBs remains nearly unchanged even after being recycled five times, indicating its promising use in practical applications.
